It's easy to get caught up in the titillating parts of this movie, but the ideas playing out in the story are the really impactful parts of the work. 'Unconventional' does not necessarily equal 'marginal,' and what's not normal often lies at the heart of some of our most mainstream cultural elements. That's a good lesson to learn. As for the nuts and bolts of this film, the only true weakness is a certain inconsistency in the role of Elizabeth; the character seems too strong to be so frequently doubtful. Also, the story starts off fun and comedic but drifts down towards heavy and grim at its denouement. Nevertheless, the overall experience is well worth the viewer's time and attention.
